Neglecting oral care during braces treatment can cause irreversible enamel damage, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. 🦷🪥

Wearing braces is a crucial step toward achieving a straight and beautiful smile, but it also requires a higher level of oral care. The brackets and wires create spaces where food particles and plaque can easily accumulate, making it more difficult to clean your teeth properly. If oral hygiene is neglected during orthodontic treatment, it can result in serious problems such as enamel decalcification, tooth decay, and gum inflammation.

Enamel damage appears as white spots around the brackets—early signs of mineral loss that can become permanent. Plaque build-up around the braces can lead to cavities, especially in hard-to-reach areas, and increase the risk of gum disease due to chronic inflammation. Over time, this can compromise not only your dental health but also the final results of your orthodontic treatment.

To prevent these complications, it's essential to brush thoroughly after every meal using an orthodontic toothbrush or electric brush, floss daily with special orthodontic aids, and maintain regular professional cleanings. Good oral hygiene is the foundation for a healthy smile—before, during, and after braces.

Ito ay mga central incisors hindi ng 20 years old or 30 or 50 or even 60 kundi ng isang 11 year old child, and yes permanent teeth po ito. Yes, wala nang papalit dito. ‘Edi doc bungi na po sya?’ Yes bungi na sya sa front. And yes, magpupustiso na sya dahil hindi pa po pwede i fixed bridge ang ganitong edad. What is alarming here is that at a very young age, the patient already needs to wear dentures to restore the missing teeth. 🥹

Actually sa practice ko, napapansin ko na pabata ng pabata ang mga pasyente ko who need extraction of their permanent teeth, not because ito na lang ang solusyon ha? We can always do pulp therapy. But because this is the only solution na pasok sa budget ng ibang patients. And also they are not well informed about treatments like root canal, pulpotomy and even pulpectomy. 🦷

What can we do to avoid this situation? Early detection and prevention. By what? Brushing, flossing, regular cleaning, and dental check up. Establishing a routine sa bahay is also very important, that’s why you should start them young! Alongside the Oral Hygiene routine, it is essential to visit your dentist to prevent gum disease and cavities from forming. Itong 2 ito (cavity & gum disease) ang mga rason kung bakit maaga at mabilis nasisira ang ngipin natin. 🪥

So when is the first visit ba dapat ng anak ninyo sa dentist? It is when the first tooth erupts. Para di confusing, kahit atleast 1 year old si baby. We can do brushing, fluoride application, and dental check up!

Early prevention is the key to having a perfect and healthy set of teeth even after you’re 70! This is a sign na no! Book your appointments now! 🦷
